2012 Update: I’ve now reviewed the Smarties Easter egg with a mug which was fairly good value for money, although I wasn’t too enthusiastic about the chocolate itself. The Retro Lion Easter egg is classed as large but I can’t find any information on sizes. Looking at the Nestle press release (here) they also do a Yorkie egg which is packaged in the shape of an old truck which is quite cute.

What I love is that these eggs are labelled as “retro” but they’re actually in the style of late 1980′s chocolate gifts – which makes me feel incredibly old. It’s good that Nestle have come up with a new and interesting angle for their eggs to differentiate them from the ever-expanding range of Cadbury’s ones. To my mind they should do a great deal more next year.

Update 2010: The news is that Nestlé are in retro fever as it plans its 2010 Easter egg range.

We have information that their Smarties Easter egg will come with a 1980′s style mug and their Rolo Easter egg will have a 1990′s theme.

But what’s even more shocking is that the news their Easter eggs will be hitting the shelves at the end of November. Did I hear that right?! We’d still be a month away from Christmas and they’ll have Easter eggs on the shelves?! Madness.
